Best Traditional Mexican Restaurants in Atwater Village

I booked a reservation for my sister and I, she was visiting from Doha, Qatar so I wanted to take her to a special place. It wasn’t super busy when we went but the vibes were good. We ordered drinks and the Calamari with black ink and the ricotta tamal as appetizers. The calamari was amazing, the tamal super tasty too. And as our main we choose the steak and while it was good it wasn’t as creative or interesting as I expected. Overall the food was great but I think it’s overpriced for the amount of food you get. I obviously get this is a fine dining place but the food wasn’t as interesting for the price. Also, the choices are quite limited.

Christmas morning, my mom, my daughter, and I decided to try brunch at Casa Maguey, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we walked in, the festive atmosphere and warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The highlight for us was their bottomless mimosas! Not only could you choose from classic orange, but they also offered sangria as an alternative, which was a unique and delicious twist. The drinks flowed freely and added a celebratory touch to our meal. The Mexican buffet was nothing short of amazing. The spread was full of authentic dishes that tasted homemade. From tamales to pozole, everything was flavorful and satisfying. They even had dessert options that left us tempted for seconds! The staff was attentive, keeping our glasses full and the buffet refreshed, even though it was a busy holiday morning. Overall, Casa Maguey provided a perfect blend of delicious food, great drinks, and warm ambiance. It was a memorable Christmas brunch for the three of us, and we’ll definitely be back for more. Highly recommend!

We had our work Christmas dinner here service was amazing as well as the food and drinks as always

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food we ordered. The tortilla soup was flavorful and just the right spice level. We split shrimp fajitas and the vegetables were perfectly cooked and maintained their color.
